Codex Pirates

Chapter 115 Luring the Wolf into the House (Part 1)

The residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Under the guidance of the servant, William came to the door of the conference room.

After knocking on the door twice, the servant saluted William and was about to leave, but saw William salute him equally politely and thanked him. This made this nobleman lead the way countless times, but However, his service has also been regarded as a proper servant countless times, and he has a good feeling in his heart.

After William received a "please come in" response from the house, he pushed open the door, and saw the gray-haired Arcadio and the short and stalwart Captain Roy sitting on the soft sofa in the house, the butler Eaton was pouring tea for the two of them.

After William entered the room and sat down, and Eaton poured tea, Arcadio waved Eaton out, leaving only Arcadio, Roy, and William in the room.

Among these three people are the minister of the kingdom, the high-ranking officials of the naval base, and the famous pirate leader. They jointly ruled the black and white of the Kingdom of Navia.

But now, Arcadio's face is not at all proud of being in charge of the power of black and white in the whole country. His gray eyebrows are tightly frowned, and he asked Roy and William: "Did you read the newspapers in Donghai recently?" ?"

William just nodded, but Colonel Roy shook his cigar ashes and said, "Is it about Germa 66?"

Arcadio nodded lightly. As soon as King Norton I gave his instructions, he thought of his two allies, and immediately invited them to meet.

The problem of Norton I was, in the final analysis, a question of force and military power. The Germa Kingdom threatened the countries in the East China Sea with force. To complete Norton I's entrustment and make Norton I feel that he was still a minister needed military support.

In this alliance, he relies on the world government and the authority of his aristocratic status, but Colonel Roy and William rely more on actual force, and he needs the help of the two.

But Roy shook his head after listening to Arcadio's request, and said bluntly: "Others may not be very clear, but I know something, even if we add all the forces of the two of us, the navy and the pirates, it will not It is the opponent of an army like Germa 66, which is an armed force at the level of the Great Route."

"What's more, how can the navy cooperate with the pirates to fight against the enemy?" Roy smoked a cigar, "Justice and evil are irreconcilable."

Before William could say anything, Arcadio asked unhappily: "I am incompatible with evil? Could it be that Germa 66's nickname 'Army of Evil' is a slander? Now Germa 66 is causing trouble to the East China Sea, you guys Does the navy care?"

"The navy's targets are pirates and any existence that can endanger the regime of the world government. The Kingdom of Germa is also a member country of the world government. It is not easy for the navy to intervene in the internal affairs of your member countries." Roy said calmly.

"It's not easy to intervene? You don't want to intervene!" Arcadio became gloomy when he heard this, and said sharply,

Seeing that Roy didn't respond, Arcadio looked at William again. He thought that William would retreat when he saw Roy's attitude, but after William lowered his head and pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Since it's Al Earl Cadio, of course I will do my best for your request, after all we are allies, but..."

"But what?" Arcadio asked with a much better complexion.

"In order to help my allies, I am naturally obliged, but you also know that my ship is full of a group of illiterate, reckless men who can only exchange their lives for wealth, and they don't understand our relationship," William touched Lips, deliberately forced a smile, "For no reason, let them fight against a powerful enemy for a country that has no sense of identity, and they may even die. I am afraid they will not do it."

Arcadio took a deep look at William: "Then what do you think they want? Money?"

"No, no, no," William waved his hands again and again, "I think they want a status more, an identity that will make them no longer need to sneak ashore in the future."

"You mean to include you in the kingdom's military system?" Arcadio asked suspiciously.

"Have you heard of 'The King's Seventh Warrior Sea'?" William nodded.

Arcadio frowned and said, "Private permission? We don't have the same authority as the world government."

"Why would I want to obtain a privateer license?" William smiled, "But we can refer to this system and give an already developed armed team a title, so that we can instantly obtain an already developed army without a Bailey. It is easy for you to explain to His Majesty the army with combat effectiveness, not to mention, although the Kingdom of Navia does not have the authority to issue private plunder permits, my subordinates and I are not in the sight of the world government itself!"

Roy frowned and looked William up and down, while Arcadio stood up from his seat, paced slowly in the reception room, frowning and thinking about William's proposal.

William's proposal seems to be very beneficial to him. As William said, it doesn't need to cost a Bailey, as long as he gives his team a name, he can harvest an army that already has combat effectiveness.

If you don't accept this proposal and form an army yourself, it will cost Bailey hard to say, and the time consumed is an inestimable number.

At that time, it is estimated that Germa 66 has either captured the royal city of Navia or left the East China Sea. What credit will he have for his hard work in building an army?

It's better to take advantage of Norton I to pay attention to this matter and get things done right away, firstly to show that he is doing his best, and secondly to show his ability.

It's just that two points need to be considered first, the first is the control of this team, and the second is Norton I's own attitude towards this method.

Thinking of this, Arcadio stopped, squinted at William, and asked tentatively: "I can give them this title, but I don't know how to repay you for doing such a big favor. ...."

William's eyes lit up, and his upper body involuntarily straightened up, as if Arcadio's words were exactly what he expected to hear. He licked his lips, a little excited and flattering, and didn't even bother to be polite. , the tone was slow, as if he was afraid that Arcadio would miss his words: "I, I hope to become a nobleman of the Kingdom of Navia and live in the noble district."

After William finished speaking, he quickly added another sentence, as if to cover up his intentions: "As long as I have a noble status and live in a noble district, I believe my subordinates will trust you and His Majesty the King. With this example and sincerity, I will definitely fight bravely for the Kingdom of Navia.”

Arcadio raised his eyebrows and looked at William playfully. He thought he had seen through William. The young man in front of him tried to hide his nervousness and expectation, waiting for his response. He was hungry for the title of nobility.
